We had a short wait to order but all servers and staff were super friendly. The menu is HUGE. So maybe study it early. Every one of our sandwiches had a PERFECT runny egg, as requested. And the chimichurri sauce on my steak sandwich was so fresh and perfect with the grilled onions and perfectly cooked thin steak. And that tag along "mini" cinnamon roll??? It's regular size.

The staff were very friendly and easy to talk to, and I really appreciated how careful they were about peanut allergies when going over the menu. I ordered an Oreo cookie sandwich with Oreo ice cream in the middle and Oreo crumbles as a topping, and it was so good! The ice cream was super creamy, and the cookie was warm, heat-pressed, and delicious. This place completely exceeded my expectations. I'll definitely be coming back, and if you're anywhere near here, you should 100% check it out--it's phenomenal!

Traveling from Va, after thanksgiving night with the family .I was craving red velvet cake…read more I know big back thoughts but, it was worth it! We were welcomed upon entry! Cakes, cupcakes and cookies were on display. You can sit down if that's your thing. Although, it is pretty small. I tried the butter pound cake it was so moist and dense, exactly what a pound cake should be! My lady got the pound cake and I got the red velvet cake! It was moist and had the perfect amount of cocoa. It was topped with cream cheese icing, the creamy icing was also layered in between the cake! If you're looking for good cake this is the spot.

Came into this place and to be honest did not know what to think. Small little shop with an array…read moreof decorations. The staff was very nice and the menu and dessert display looked great. I ended up getting a few things, a pecan chewie, which was so delicious. The flavor was great and the texture was perfect and soft. I also got a white cake which was made with an apple jelly as opposed to sugar and honestly I had no idea what to expect. Took a bite and was pleasantly surprised at how good it was. The cake was moist but not soggy and was sweet but not too sweet. So good. Lastly I got a strawberry cupcake but unfortunately after the other 2 I could not take a bite of anything else. By the time I got to the cupcake it had hardened after sitting for so long and was not really edible. This was obviously not the fault of the baker so I just act as if I didn't get that one. I would really recommend GG's for dessert, it has some great choices and the people are great, and that for me is always a plus.

While they originated in Philly, they are literally all over NYC and are dangerous when a sweet tooth hits on a late night. I was surprised when I walked into this Columbia, SC location to see how spacious it was and there was actually no one waiting. We waited a few for the young lady to finish what she was doing in the back and realize we were there. I picked an assortment for a 12pack, entered my number for points, tapped to pay and was on my way. Just A Note: If you haven't already, I recommend you get the app and start accumulating those sweet treat points.

Furthermore, Insomnia definitely tested my discipline, and I was very tempted to try some more of the cookies, brownies, and ice cream that they had. Luckily, I was able to maintain my discipline, but I can't recommend them enough for those wanting something sweet!

The baker was the kindest woman who is clearly passionate about catering to people with dietary restrictions without compromising on flavor. Free of charge, she threw in some vegan sugar cookies and vegan gluten free sugar cookies. We had the most wonderful conversation and I could not be happier I ordered from her! The cookies were quickly devoured by everyone and had I not stated they were vegan, no one would have known! So so so delicious! Don't hesitate!

I was shocked at how bad the food was. I had been there 4 years ago and it was just good…read more I had a blackberry mint drink. No mint & 1 blackberry smashed up on the bottom. It was very bad. Got the Crab cakes...ok I could hardly eat them. The crab meat was the lowest quality of crab. Looked like canned crab meat. They were flat about a 1/4 inch. Over fried. So very sad for $34 dollars. Green fried tomatoes. Just a stack of tomatoes without sauce. (Ever pic shows a sauce served with them) my husband had red fish...it was just ok. Now the dessert didn't get what was described on menu. It was good sadly the desert was the best part of the meal. The service was a 4. The place needs a full make over w a better menu & chef. I would not recommend. Unfortunately I will never visit again. It is very low quality cooking.
